The School of Greatness · The Fear Was Killing Her, Not the Cancer | Anita Moorjani · 6 May 2026 podcast

I said, can I go back to school?

I never went to university.

And they said, nope.

And I was to stay home and learn to be a better homemaker, a better cook, and to learn to clean house and all these things.

And I said, I'm willing to do all those things, but I want to also have something more.

But I was told, no, and you're going to have to go to the temple a couple of times a week.

And

And so three days before the wedding, I just found myself feeling like, I can't, I can't do this.

I can't spend the rest of my life doing that.

And I ran away.

And if you know anything about Indian weddings, they are two week long affairs, you know, with musicians and banqueting and people flying in from all over the world.

And

So we had all the relatives that already come.

It was going to be in India.

We'd all flown to India.

And I ran away and I hid at a friend's house.

Three days before you were supposed to get married.

Yes.

And I brought so much shame to my family and his family.

And this is, okay, so this was a long time ago.
